I did for a good 2 weeks. I used colic cal m and changed my diet. I can't eat chicken, fish and more than 2 servings of veggies a day or forget it. A lot of peopledon't know that chicken and fish are extremelly gassy proteins.I was really surprised, but that was the problem and she's a whole different baby.

We did for months. From about the time DD was 2 weeks until she was 3 months. Our peak was right around 2 months. We couldn't trace it to anything dietary, GERD, etc. and our pedi proclaimed DD to be a "highly sensitive baby". He hit that nail on the head! We used Gripe Water and it helped considerably, but didn't totally make it go away.

Yes--but around 3 months I finally got a new ped and we took dairy completely out of my diet and it helped wonders! (DH has dairy intolerance so it's in the family...)
